In the third episode of this season we talk with philosopher Leah Henderson and political scientist Léonie de Jonge about public trust in science. We answer the question why trust in scientific findings is important, how reasoning and discourse skills are developed in higher education, and debate whether education is political (and what this means).
We also talk about the conference Nothing But The Truth, organised by the Research School of Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences (BCN) at the University of Groningen, on December 7th and 8th, 2023, whose aim is to shed more light on questions of truth and science communication.
